RaptorsFan4Life, I only wait a couple days with trade offers. No response by then and I pull the offer just because of potential injury risks skewing the deal. If you're interested in Charles' partner in crime, TJ, then let me know. With them probably doing a 50/50 work share to start the season two of them individually is a risky endeavor... My risk being far less given the draft positions of both. If you're interested in dealing Charles let me know that too.

What was the trade? I didn't check the yahoo fantasy football for a couple of days been busy with my nfl.com leagues.

They pretty much drafted me everyone I wanted, aside from the junkstore defensive players they assigned me. Well I've fixed that problem and I've gotta be the favourite!

I just want my Dez DK, I'll trade you almos anyone on my bench within reason(no Rapelesberger). How did u guys leave him undrafted????? This is a keeper league, remember?

Mack, It's an 8 team league. Everybody has a good QB. Me personally, I'm not keeping two elite QBs especially if it eats a roster spot on my team for 4-6 weeks. Some guys with aging gunslingers and question marks centered around their QB2 should have took a flier on him though.

Favre and the Minnesota Vikings will play the first half of the season—or more—without Pro Bowl receiver Sidney Rice(notes), who had hip surgery this week.

Coach Brad Childress said Tuesday that Rice had the procedure in Vail, Colo., on Monday night. He couldn’t give a specific timetable for Rice’s return, but said typically it takes about eight weeks before a player can even get back to practice, let alone game action.

Aug 25 Trade talks with Seattle for Jackson have stopped after Jackson wanted a new $50 million, five-year contract (with $30 million guaranteed), the San Dieo Union-Tribune reports. Minnesota also expressed interest in Jackson but balked at his contract demands.

Recommendation: San Diego gave Seattle permission to talk to Jackson about a new contract as prelude to a possible trade. While San Diego sounds motivated to trade Jackson, he'd need to lower his contract demands for a deal to take place and San Diego would have to agree to a trade (Seattle's offer of a one second-round draft pick wasn't enough in early talks), so there are several hurdles before Jackson could suit up for another team. He'll also miss three weeks due to a suspension and possibly another three weeks if he doesn't report to a team before Sept. 4 since he's on the roster-exempt list.

The whole Jackson saga reminds me of the Joey Galloway saga of ten years ago. He held out and finally got his way. The Cowboys gave up two 1st rounders and never got jack in returns on the deal. Horrible trade for the Cowboys. It took Joey five or so years and another team change before he regained his form of prior to the holdout. The ironic thing in all this is the Seahawks hosed the Cowboys in the trade and now another team is trying to hose the Seahawks in similar fashion.

And the funny fantasy football quote of the week goes to...

Yahoo!’s own Michael Silver:

Best was the only other player in the draft Detroit’s brass regarded as an elite runner, and I knew Schwartz wanted him badly. In January, he’d confided to me that he coveted the dynamic breakaway threat to a degree that some might find unhealthy.

Mack, It's an 8 team league. Everybody has a good QB. Me personally, I'm not keeping two elite QBs especially if it eats a roster spot on my team for 4-6 weeks. Some guys with aging gunslingers and question marks centered around their QB2 should have took a flier on him though.

Marshall Faulk Likes Jahvid Best As A Fantasy Play This Year

I was just was looking over the NFL.com NFL Experts Fantasy Draft and it looks like Marshall Faulk took Jahvid Best with the second pick in round four, #38 overall. That's much higher than where I nabbed him...
